Enter new password for email account on MacBook

I had to reset my password for an email account on my new iPhone. Managed to do that, but when trying to enter the new PW on my MacBook to get to my emails, I get this screen but no place to enter the new PW. How do I solve this?

MacBook, OS X 10.11

Mail password Can I see my email password? It is not - in my case - saved in Passwords in Settings. However, email works. So I assume it must be saved “somewhere “. Many thanks for help. Jan

No option to change password for email on iphone 12 ?? HELP! Settings: Mail: Accounts: Here I have 4 email accounts that I access using the email icon on my iphone 12 - Work1, Work2, Yahoo, Gmail. Previously, and in all the advice I see here & online, the steps to follow when I change one of those passwords is to go to Settings: Mail: Accounts: then choose the account (in this case, Gmail & Work2), and update the password. There may have been one additional step where after clicking the chosen account (Work1), I again click Account at the top of the screen: Account me@work1.com > and then change/update the password -- but now there IS NO PASSWORD OPTION!?? Clicking Account that second time takes me to a screen with only Email: me@work1.com and Description: Work1 and Advanced Settings > but even Advanced Settings has no password option!? It only has Use SSL (on or off) & Move Discarded Messages Into: (Deleted Mailbox or Archive Mailbox) & Drafts - Store Drafts on Server (on or off) and S/MIME with 2 options for Sign (No) or Encrypt by Default (No). WHERE IS THE PASSWORD????? I had to change one of my work email passwords & out of regular caution, I changed my Gmail & Yahoo passwords as well (all done on my laptop). Now, I cannot get any email for these accounts on my phone. I knew I would need to update the password on my iPhone 12 and my iPad, but never before has there been NO PASSWORD option to edit, change, etc., in Settings: Mail: Account. Please help! Other Q&As seem to think that people have separate icons like Gmail on their phones, but no one does that - everyone uses the MAIL feature. Help!

How do I update a gmail password in macOS Mail I had a gmail account in macOS Mail. I wanted to add that account to my mobile devices but couldn't figure out the password. So I decided to change it...Mail directed me to a page to change it and I did, but it didn't update in Mail. Now I can't find that to try again. That said, I now have a working password for the account in question. However I can't figure out how to update the password in Mail. Help?

I would try from Mail.app>Settings>Accounts>Server Settings

That gives me the exact same screen which doesn't accept any reply.
